Indigo Forest School School - Empowering Young Minds
Home Education Forest School Group - Upcoming Term Begins Friday 2nd October 2026
Our Home Education sessions are on Fridays and offer a structured, nature-based learning experience for a mixed-age community of children and their families, combining the freedom and benefits of time in the forest with clear learning objectives and engaging, hands-on activities. Building on the same child-centred approach as our Stay & Play programme, these extended sessions provide an additional hour for deeper exploration, skill development, and collaborative learning, with healthy snacks provided.
In keeping with Forest School principles, which recognise the importance of regular participation, consistency, and the development of long-term relationships with both people and place, our Friday Home Education sessions are booked on a termly basis rather than as individual sessions. This approach allows children the time and continuity needed to build confidence, develop skills, form meaningful connections, and fully benefit from the learning journey. By returning to the same forest environment week after week, children have the opportunity to observe seasonal changes, deepen their understanding, and experience the sense of belonging that sits at the heart of the Forest School ethos.
Please contact us to join the waitlist.

This Term's Journey: The Alchemy of Autumn (2nd October - 30th October 2026)
This term in our Home Education sessions, we're exploring the Alchemy of Autumn and all the incredible transformations happening in nature at this time of year. Each week invites children and their grown ups to investigate change through experiments, fire, creativity, movement and exploring the forest together.
We'll follow autumn as it unfolds around us, from leaves changing colour and fungi appearing beneath our feet, to decomposition, natural pigments, fire and the way heat can transform everyday materials. There'll be plenty of opportunities to mix, make, cook, experiment and get our hands dirty along the way.
As children explore these changes for themselves, they'll discover some of the science behind the magic of autumn. Our aim is to encourage curiosity, experimentation and a deeper connection with the changing forest, noticing that even as things fall, fade and disappear, something new is always beginning.
